| MeanderingCode | Can anyone clarify for me whether the Muon Software Center will show apps submitted by developers as the Ubuntu "Software Center" does? | 00:24 |

| nafg_ | Hi, after upgrading to Oneiric I no longer have Shutdown and Restart options. Any idea? | 00:46 |
| RickKnight | gomiboy: Yes, padsp works on a couple but with some delay. It doesn't work at all RTCW. | 00:53 |
| Daskreech | Linkmaster: Yo | 00:53 |
| Linkmaster | Daskreech: I lost my wired connection, so we're back to me being hosed...any ideas though, especially since b43-fwcutter didn't work? | 00:54 |
| Daskreech | Did you try modprobe b43 ? | 00:54 |
| AvonGenesis_ | Hey, I just installed kubuntu on my Compaq Presario C551NR, I'm having trouble getting the wireless to work. | 00:56 |
| Daskreech | !wifi | 00:56 |
| ubottu | Wireless documentation, including how-to guides and troubleshooting information, can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs | 00:56 |
| AvonGenesis_ | Thanks, I'll read that then. | 00:57 |
| nafg_ | Hi, after upgrading to Oneiric I no longer have Shutdown and Restart options. Any idea? | 00:59 |
| Linkmaster | Daskreech: yep, when I tried those, the ability for wireless completely disappeared | 00:59 |
| Daskreech | Linkmaster: hmm | 01:04 |
| Daskreech | Linkmaster: Do you know what revision your card is? | 01:05 |
| Linkmaster | I can find out...would it be written on the card itself? | 01:05 |
| Daskreech | Iiii think so? | 01:07 |
| Daskreech | Should say rev somenumber | 01:07 |
| Linkmaster | Daskreech: this might be helpful: http://pastebin.com/AinKSBDQ | 01:11 |
| AvonGenesis_ | Running command "lshw -C network" says my wifi card is UNCLAIMED. I checked for proprietary drivers and Broadcom STA wireless driver is installed. I cannot access the wireless tab in the network manager though. | 01:12 |
| Matisse | hi | 01:12 |
| Matisse | I started installed some i386-packages on my 64bit system, but there are a lot dependencies, so i think i need to take a different way | 01:13 |
| Matisse | I'm trying to install the graphic driver. do you think a chroot env is needed or should I just install every needed package using getlibs (ppa package from somebody)? | 01:15 |
| Matisse | somebody = https://launchpad.net/~jcollins/+archive/jaminppa/+packages | 01:15 |
| Daskreech | Linkmaster: What command was that? | 01:21 |
| Daskreech | never mind :) | 01:23 |
| Linkmaster | Daskreech: the title | 01:23 |
| Daskreech | Just saw it | 01:23 |
| Linkmaster | ah, alright. anything useful in there? | 01:23 |
| phiscribe | Linkmaster, is the ive heard that sometimes the firware for a net card might get "misplace" during and upgade, dont know much more than that, usualy they are in /lib/firmware or some such place locate firmware | 01:24 |
| Linkmaster | This was a fresh install, so thats one reason why we are confused of the borkyness | 01:24 |
| Daskreech | Linkmaster: Yeah. Is it 32 or 54 bit? | 01:25 |
| Daskreech | 64 | 01:25 |
| Linkmaster | 32bit | 01:26 |
| phiscribe | fresh might be worse if they have decided they dont have room for an older driver or firmware file and just drop it | 01:26 |
| Linkmaster | ^that is possible...the s10e is around 2-3 years old | 01:26 |
| phiscribe | and many of the broadcom are conidered proprietary they wouldnt be included, maybe you need to install the cutter packages | 01:27 |
| Linkmaster | ^Tried that, its whats making my card completely disappear | 01:28 |
| Daskreech | As long as they are maintained they will be kept around | 01:28 |
| phiscribe | get the driver straight from boradcom | 01:29 |
| Linkmaster | well, Daskreech, what do you propose we try next? | 01:29 |
| phiscribe | have you tried the "Additional Driver" and see if it lists Broadcom STA | 01:30 |
| Linkmaster | that was amongst the first tried, it ended with nothing happening | 01:31 |
| OerHeks | you have the fw-cutter, but do you also have the installer ? | 01:31 |
| Linkmaster | The Broadcom STA is what I used to always use | 01:31 |
| Linkmaster | OerHeks: yes | 01:31 |
| junior | can some1 help me | 01:31 |
| Daskreech | which was the closest we got to working except the rf-kill switch | 01:31 |
| Daskreech | Linkmaster: did it work in Windows? | 01:31 |
| Linkmaster | Daskreech: nope | 01:32 |
| Daskreech | !ask | 01:32 |
| ubottu | Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 01:32 |
| Daskreech | Linkmaster: oh? | 01:32 |
| Linkmaster | I have the 'firmware-b43-lpphy-installer' | 01:32 |

| phiscribe | firmware-b43-installer ? | 01:32 |
| junior | were i find it? | 01:32 |
| phiscribe | and the b430fwcutter | 01:32 |

| phiscribe | eeeh cant typ e b43-fwcutter | 01:33 |
| junior | yeh this my first time using kubuntu need bit more help lol | 01:34 |
| Linkmaster | I have b43-fwcutter and firmware-b43-lpphy-installer to download/install while I had a wired connection. I was going to put installer w/o lpphy, but it said "your card is a low power" or something like that, and insisted I install that version | 01:34 |
| phiscribe | seee if it is blacklisted cat /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf | grep b43 | 01:34 |
| Daskreech | junior: Open your package manager :) | 01:34 |
| Linkmaster | Daskreech: and me tried that =P | 01:35 |
| junior | ok | 01:35 |
| Daskreech | junior: search for kubuntu-restricted-extras | 01:35 |

| Daskreech | Linkmaster: it not working in Windows is worrying to me | 01:36 |
| Linkmaster | Daskreech: same. Both of them stopped working at the same time, but I didn't really think about it until just now | 01:36 |
| Daskreech | :-/ | 01:37 |
| junior | how do is et so i aint gotta enter my password everytime i install something | 01:37 |
| * Daskreech thinks the card is borked. It's reporting that a hardswitch that doesn't exist is turned on and can't pick up any signals | 01:37 | |
| Linkmaster | junior thats a good option, leave it be. its for security purposes, to not let a happenstance person mess with your system | 01:37 |
| Daskreech | junior: finish one thing at at time :) | 01:38 |
| junior | ok | 01:38 |
| * Linkmaster has started to believe that as well.. | 01:38 | |
| Daskreech | We can fix that afterwards | 01:38 |
| Linkmaster | hmm...let me jack a card from another kid, see if it starts working | 01:38 |
| * Daskreech laughs | 01:39 | |
| Daskreech | Sorry I just saw you robbing some guy of his laptop's wifi card dressed in a penguin suit | 01:39 |
| phiscribe | whaq whaq whaq (while tookin cigar and twriling unbrella) | 01:40 |
| junior | can kubuntu run minecraft? | 01:40 |
| Daskreech | Give me your laptop...s wifi card. You can keep the rest of the laptop... NOW! Move it Buddy! | 01:40 |
| Daskreech | junior: Yes | 01:40 |
| Daskreech | I was actually surprised when I heard it ran on Windows | 01:40 |
| junior | what minecraft | 01:40 |
| Daskreech | Yes :) | 01:40 |
| junior | lol i had windows 7 but it was so laggy running minecraft and stuff | 01:41 |
| Daskreech | You can probably tune it. | 01:41 |
| Linkmaster | Daskreech: ironically, that is exactly what I did =P | 01:41 |
| junior | so how do i run it then? | 01:41 |
| Daskreech | Linkmaster: You carry a penguin suit for just such an occasion :) | 01:42 |
| Daskreech | junior: instructions are on the website | 01:42 |
| Daskreech | !info minecraft | 01:42 |
| ubottu | Package minecraft does not exist in oneiric | 01:42 |
| Daskreech | Didn't think so | 01:42 |
| Linkmaster | No, I'm talking about the "give me your laptop...s wireless.." part | 01:42 |
| junior | u guys on here 24/7 | 01:43 |
| jmichaelx | we all live here. it was the sad result of a scientific experiment that went horribly and hopelessly wrong... | 01:44 |
| junior | what u on about live her | 01:44 |
| junior | here* | 01:44 |
| * Linkmaster is trapped | 01:45 | |
| junior | so sitting there helping people is your day job? | 01:46 |
| * Unit193 couldn't figure out what people were talking about when they said "/part" | 01:46 | |
| jmichaelx | we are just waiting for someone from the outside to come along, and be the bridge for to once again resurface in the visible world | 01:46 |
| jmichaelx | for us* | 01:46 |
| Daskreech | junior: Occupation. Not really a job :) | 01:47 |
| * jmichaelx thinks to himself, 'but it really is kind of peaceful here...' | 01:47 | |
| Daskreech | Unit193: You got that /part now? | 01:47 |
| Linkmaster | Daskreech: well...I tried a 'good' card, and the same problem..I'm just going to try the other kids motherboard as well | 01:47 |
| junior | ok so i downloaded minecraft now how do i run it :/ | 01:47 |
| nafg_ | Hi, after upgrading to Oneiric I no longer have Shutdown and Restart options. Any idea? | 01:48 |
| phiscribe | nafg_, sounds like you have a mix or kde and gnome or unity components and there is a conlfict, like usng lighdm instead of kwin or along those lines | 01:50 |
| phiscribe | nafg_, are you logging in with KDM or GMD it must be KDM in kubuntu to see those menus | 01:52 |
| phiscribe | if you are certain (100 percent) that you want kdm maybe sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm | 01:53 |
| nafg_ | Ah, that could be it. But I'm quite sure it wasn't like that in Natty. | 01:53 |
| nafg_ | Did something change and why? | 01:53 |
| phiscribe | log out and in and pick kdm for sessoin and see if that is it | 01:53 |
| nafg_ | I'll find out the next time I log out :) | 01:54 |
| * Linkmaster has come to a depressing realization | 01:55 | |
| phiscribe | k pertty sure it is along those lines | 01:55 |
| nafg_ | Huh -- it was set to lightdm for some reason. Does unity use it? | 01:55 |
| phiscribe | light dm is the windows manager for unity kubuntu still uses kwin i believe | 01:55 |
| phiscribe | bevofe i think comp8iz might have been for ubuntu | 01:56 |
| Daskreech | Linkmaster: Ben Affleck can't act? | 01:56 |
| nafg_ | Wait, are we discussing window manager or desktop manager (gdm vs. kdm)? | 01:56 |
| phiscribe | the missing loou t screen is usualy the logon manager not being kdm | 01:57 |
| phiscribe | but the new unubut now uses lightdm as windows manager | 01:57 |
| nafg_ | Could lightdm also be a logon manager? | 01:57 |
| phiscribe | but if your usihng kubuntu that is incorrect | 01:57 |
| Linkmaster | Daskreech: I think my motherboard is broken, because the good card didn't work either. I then popped my harddrive into the other computer, and it worked perfectly. first time connection, no problem | 01:57 |
| nafg_ | I switched it back, but under Natty it was gdm and it worked. | 01:58 |
| phiscribe | i guess technicly it is the display manager | 01:58 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | i have a shell program. how to add it to kde panel? i tried playing with widgets, but cant find how to add a shell program as in icon to the panel | 01:58 |
| phiscribe | a move to webkit | 01:58 |
| phiscribe | 11.10 ubuntu (not kubuntu) now uses lighdm did not in natty | 01:59 |
| nafg_ | Android: Right click desktop, New link to application | 01:59 |
| nafg_ | So KDE is ok with gdm but not lightdm? | 01:59 |
| nafg_ | Anyway, why on earth should it care? | 01:59 |
| phiscribe | lightdm may repalce gdm, im using kubuntu not for sure about vanalia ubunt u | 02:00 |
| phiscribe | It is proposed to be the display manager in Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneric) replacing GDM which has been the display manager since the beginning. See the blueprint for more details. | 02:02 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | nafg: i cant see my desktop anywhere, not in panel, how to quickjump to it? | 02:04 |
| Linkmaster | Daskreech: yep...my motherboard must be borked, because even my broken card works in the other computer | 02:04 |
| nafg_ | Android: So just open Dolphin | 02:05 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | oh, i added a show desktop widget, so i can click that now | 02:05 |
| phiscribe | ..... my broken card works is that a saying like military intelliegence | 02:05 |
| phiscribe | i am think i am now in favor of the search and launch view, it seems to work fo rme | 02:07 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | im on 4.7, when right click on the desktop, only have addWidget, addPanel, Activities, RunCommand options, | 02:08 |
| phiscribe | i can use a remote with it easily | 02:08 |
| phiscribe | i dont see how the newspalyer layout could be uses well | 02:09 |
| phiscribe | used well that is | 02:09 |
| phiscribe | AndroidLoverInSF, that sounds about like the deafults with lock and a couple others | 02:10 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | i just want to add an icon to the bottom panel for a shell program i installed, but cant figure out how | 02:11 |
| phiscribe | AndroidLoverInSF, oh i see now, find the application in the launcher then right click on it | 02:11 |
| phiscribe | if you have the defualt panel it will have a lancher menu, if not add a launcher or add the default panel back | 02:12 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | oh but the app isnt in the laucher cuz its a shell program in a dir. i know how to add "installed" apps to the panel but not custom shell programs | 02:12 |
| phiscribe | type the name in the launcher it will find even shell apps | 02:13 |
| phiscribe | like i can type in cat and i get an opton to run cat | 02:13 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | oh i see, the problem is the app has no extension ie, "eclipse" | 02:13 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | /opt/eclipse/eclipse -clean | 02:14 |
| phiscribe | right lick the luancher and edit applications | 02:14 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | ahh i see, thanks, i should be able to figure it out from here | 02:14 |
| jmichaelx | new rekonq coming down from kubuntu ppa.... maybe this one will work | 02:14 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | thanks! | 02:15 |
| phiscribe | its all new the 1st time hehe | 02:15 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | hehe, yep | 02:16 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | so add it to the launcher, then add the new launcher item to the panel. got it! | 02:17 |
| jmichaelx | rekonq 0.8 appears o be working :-) | 02:19 |
| jmichaelx | to* | 02:19 |
| Daskreech | Linkmaster: Woohoo! Problem solved!! | 02:19 |
| Linkmaster | True, it just led me to a larger one xP | 02:20 |
| Daskreech | ##hardware | 02:21 |
| phiscribe | AndroidLoverInSF, more ways to skin the cat probably, but that one is the direct one | 02:21 |
| Linkmaster | I don't even want to [insert string of horrid things here] anymore | 02:21 |
| Daskreech | That's good | 02:21 |
| jmichaelx | Linkmaster's wireless is working??? | 02:22 |
| Daskreech | I've never wanted to [insert something horrid in his here] | 02:22 |
| Daskreech | jmichaelx: looks so | 02:22 |
| jmichaelx | YAY!!!!! | 02:22 |
| Daskreech | jmichaelx: Rest of the computer is broken though | 02:22 |
| jmichaelx | who cares about that... | 02:22 |
| Daskreech | Motherboard is messed up | 02:22 |
| jmichaelx | wireless is working!! | 02:22 |
| jmichaelx | oh | 02:22 |
| jmichaelx | ok, not so good | 02:22 |
| phiscribe | jmichaelx, what was not working with old rekong? i cant get it to do flash well | 02:22 |
| jmichaelx | phiscribe: for me, the rekonq was crashing like a mofo every time i tried to use it... especially uping trying to open new tabs | 02:23 |
| phiscribe | ah, well glad the new version is working | 02:24 |
| jmichaelx | s/uping/upon/ | 02:24 |
| phiscribe | is it gonna be rekonq now or konq which is gonna be the default | 02:24 |
| phiscribe | rekonq doesnt seem to fish or man or ftp even | 02:25 |
| jmichaelx | in kubuntu, at least, it is rekonq | 02:25 |
| jmichaelx | hmm | 02:25 |
| jmichaelx | phiscribe: i guess it doesn't... i just tried to fish with it, and it opened a dolphin window | 02:26 |
| jmichaelx | i dunno whether or not they intend to add those things or not.... if they turn rekonq into a file browser, etc, what will we need dolphin for? | 02:27 |
| jmichaelx | maybe they can merge them... and it'll really be like konqueror 2 | 02:28 |
| phiscribe | sftp smb all that | 02:28 |
| jmichaelx | or not or not | 02:28 |
| phiscribe | web kit also, well i dont like its fonts in linux | 02:29 |
| phiscribe | it is greased lighnting though | 02:29 |
| phiscribe | but webkit came fro khtml, eat your parents | 02:30 |
| Linuxephus | Greetings one & all. I was wondering if anyone here might be able to direct me in the use how to send SMS from my Yahoo Account using Kopete? I have everything set up as it should be etceteral. Excepting the fact I've been unable to send SMS using kopete. | 02:52 |
| Linuxephus | Interesting thing about the matter is that Pidgin does it just fine automatically. Yet Kopete itself seems to have no option to do so in the Yahoo Account. | 02:55 |
| Linuxephus | [Taps on his screen & scratches his beard befuddled amusement] | 02:55 |
| Linuxephus | Eh...it seems I'll have to brush up on my grammar abit. It's been quite sometime since I've been around these parts...so to speak. | 02:57 |
| xdunlapx | hi Linuxephus | 03:00 |
| xdunlapx | your grammar seems fine to me | 03:00 |
| Linuxephus | Greetings Dunlap and well met by the way. | 03:00 |
| xdunlapx | :) I tried using Kopete and wasn't impressed. so i went back to Pidgin which I've used since it was Gaim | 03:01 |
| phiscribe | kopete doesnt seem as feature rich, still feeding off its egg sack i think | 03:02 |
| phiscribe | is there a magic bullet for ugly fonts, especialy browseres, (webkit seems worse) | 03:02 |
| Linuxephus | Well, I too used to use Pidgin until I switched over to Kubuntu which comes with Kopete by default. However, unless I'm mistaken otherwise, it appears Kopete, unlike Pidgin, doesn't support the SMS feature on ones Yahoo account as Pidgin does. | 03:03 |
| Linkmaster | phiscribe: the 'ubuntu' font seems very nice, and dejavu * works nicely | 03:03 |
| phiscribe | its not the fonts, its how they are rendered | 03:03 |
| phiscribe | like antialias is ignored | 03:04 |
| Linkmaster | Linuxephus: I know that the new KDE-telepathy can send SMS texts, as long as they text you first. I believe I recall the devels saying they'd eventually work in a 'text' button of sorts | 03:04 |
| xdunlapx | haha | 03:04 |
| Linkmaster | Oh, that is..oh, somewhere in the system settings, I recall something somewhere somehow(which really doesn't help) about how to fix that | 03:04 |
| phiscribe | my applications are ok, its mosly just the browsers, and mostly ones using webkit to render | 03:04 |
| * Linkmaster is tired and braindead, so he dares not venture a solution | 03:05 | |
| Linuxephus | Ah, I'm thinking it indeed happens to be in the settings somewhere around something Linkmaster-->>LOLing. Reckon I'll have to dig around some as there are SMS options. Just not the straight forward variety. | 03:07 |
| Linuxephus | Or back to Pidgin to keep it simple. Thanks for the "heads-up" nonetheless Linkmaster. | 03:07 |
| Linuxephus | Interesting, the set-up here is quite different from the commenting set-up that one might find in a forum versus irc. [Duly noted for future use] | 03:10 |
| Linuxephus | xdunlapx: And how does one here address another directly to get the beeping notification? | 03:12 |
| phiscribe | Linkmaster, if the users name is in the message it hits the notification system | 03:13 |
| phiscribe | Linuxephus, i meant | 03:13 |
| xdunlapx | Linuxephus: I think you type /msg nickname message but i'm not sure i'm new to kde apps such as quassel | 03:13 |
| Linkmaster | Thanks =P | 03:14 |
| phiscribe | messages with phiscribe in them will notify me, messages with Linuxephus notify you | 03:14 |
| phiscribe | ah Linkmaster you like being notified hehe | 03:14 |
| Linuxephus | Yep, I just figured that out phiscribe...xdunlapx | 03:14 |
| Linkmaster | at least add a "sorry, false ping" in there when the person goes away and you accidentally ping them | 03:14 |
| phiscribe | Linuxephus, try starting a new mesassage and type phi then hit tab phi+tab | 03:15 |
| phiscribe | it tries to auto fill the name like a bash shell and a directory | 03:15 |
| phiscribe | as long as there isnt a philosophy ur ok | 03:16 |
| MeanderingCode | Can anyone clarify for me whether the Muon Software Center will show apps submitted by developers as the Ubuntu "Software Center" does? | 03:17 |
| Linuxephus | Ah, I always prefer to be notified if possible. Though a quick reading eye will do the same in either case @Phis. xdunlapx: I'm connected here thru Chromium. | 03:18 |
| Linuxephus | MeanderingCode: I believe it will do that very thing from default if I'm not mistaken. | 03:19 |
| * phiscribe is still on 11.04, not read to fight the lions tigers and bears | 03:20 | |
| MeanderingCode | Linuxephus: Thanks. The only app i know of to "test" it with isn't in there, yet (for Oneiric...it's in for older ones) | 03:20 |
| phiscribe | not ready that is | 03:20 |
| Linuxephus | I was going to try Quassel @Dunlap, but opted for the quicker non-registration route. I happen to be on Kubuntu 11.04 myself as well Phis. No problem Meandering, though methinks there should be several other means to do "testing". | 03:23 |
| Linuxephus | Linkmaster: I'm wondering how one is to know when another goes away to avoid falsely pinging them (LOLing) when ones having gone away is not made known. | 03:25 |
| * Linkmaster ponders | 03:26 | |
| Linuxephus | [Scratches his beard & laughs good naturedly as he begins to see the ease of which of how similar irc and forums actually are.] | 03:27 |
| Linuxephus | [Ponders the pondering along with Linkmaster] | 03:27 |
| Daskreech | Linuxephus: Far as I know there is no SMS from Yahoo in Kopete. The Yahoo maintainer for Kopete left quite a while back (after getting Voice and Video working) but kde-telepathy would support it | 03:27 |
| Linkmaster | Oh jeez, you have no clue...these are forums, just fast | 03:27 |
| * Linkmaster did mention kde-telepathy earlier | 03:28 | |
| Daskreech | Linuxephus: That has not been released yet so if SMS in Yahoo is important to you please feel free to use Pidgin | 03:28 |
| Daskreech | !tab | Linuxephus | 03:28 |
| ubottu | Linuxephus: You can use your <tab> key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. | 03:28 |
| Daskreech | Linkmaster: but not permanent which is a disadvantage | 03:29 |
| Linkmaster | Yeah, but it works nicely still | 03:29 |
| Daskreech | Linkmaster: Tends to be friendlier though | 03:30 |
| Linuxephus | Daskreech: I seem to have managed to verify that very thing Daskreech. And thanks to you & Linkmaster for the aforementioned KDE-Telepathy suggestion. Tab...duly noted and much quicker yet. | 03:30 |
| Linkmaster | THE FACT THAT IT WORKS..... | 03:30 |
| Daskreech | ha ha :) | 03:30 |
| Linuxephus | I prefer to stick with KDE apps. as much as possible, so I'll give Telepathy a whirl so to speak. Though Pidgin always was less problematic in my humble opinion. | 03:32 |
| Linuxephus | Linkmaster: So long as it works, that's all that matters. [Contemplates pondering the universe] | 03:33 |
| Linkmaster | don't, you'll get a headache | 03:33 |
| MeanderingCode | Linuxephus: starting your message with "/me " will make it an action | 03:33 |
| * MeanderingCode hopes the suggestion is helpful | 03:33 | |
| Linuxephus | In that case Linkmaster, you can be Misery, and I'll be Loves Company. | 03:34 |
| Linuxephus | MeanderingCode: I think you just confused me abit there MeanderingCode. | 03:35 |
| MeanderingCode | if i type "/me hopes this is clearer", it will say: | 03:36 |
| * MeanderingCode hopes this is clearer | 03:36 | |
| * Linkmaster typed '/me' before typing "typed '/me' | 03:36 | |
| Linuxephus | MeanderingCode: I though that's what you were implying. Duly noted. I see "making it an action" is differing from the forum version of "making an action". | 03:37 |
| MeanderingCode | what is an "action" in a forum? | 03:37 |
| Linkmaster | -action- | 03:37 |
| * Linkmaster -stabs- MeanderingCode | 03:38 | |
| MeanderingCode | tough to do over the wire :P | 03:38 |
| Linuxephus | MeanderingCode: An "action in a forum would more along the lines of starting and ending a sentence with "[ ]" or something similar to give the appearance of taking an action. My apologies as I should've made that clearer. | 03:39 |
| MeanderingCode | makes sense | 03:39 |
| === william is now known as Guest96167 | ||
| MeanderingCode | i use that notation in non irc chat | 03:40 |
| * Linuxephus Stabs the typing that made the typed typo | 03:40 | |
| === Guest96167 is now known as Ihazaclue | ||
| Ihazaclue | Blah blah blah | 03:41 |
| Linuxephus | MeanderingCode: LOLing...I always use the "[ ]" notation by habit in "stating" an action. | 03:41 |
| Linuxephus | Ihazaclue: The only thing I got from that was "blah, blah, blah". | 03:42 |
| Linuxephus | Well ladies and gentleman alike, my humble thanks for the very usefull information. I bid one and all a good day or night, depending on ones location. | 03:43 |
| Linuxephus | Signed: Josephus Duncan Constantinus. | 03:44 |
| * Daskreech welcomes back the wandering pondering Linuxephus | 04:03 | |
| lnxkde | :) | 04:04 |
| lnxkde | nice job with 11.10 looks and runs great | 04:04 |
| * Linuxephus Welcomes back Daskreech who noticed the wandering, pondering Linuxephus pondering wonderingly around. | 04:05 | |
| Daskreech | lnxkde: That would be for #kubuntu-devel :) | 04:05 |
| lnxkde | Daskreech: :) done | 04:10 |
| Linuxephus | MeanderingCode: Any more luck with getting that Muon Software question tested with a satisfactory answer? | 04:12 |
| MeanderingCode | Nope...dealing w/ other tasks, atm | 04:12 |
| Linuxephus | Eh...I'm still trying to decide if I like the Freenode better than using Quassel. Though I'll admit I like, apparently, IRC much better than "chat" and almost as muchas a forum setting. | 04:13 |
| * Linuxephus Thanks Daskreech for the previous "welcome back". | 04:15 | |
| Daskreech | Linuxephus: Freenode is a server. Quassel is a way of accessing the server | 04:16 |
| Daskreech | THough I know suspect you are talking about chat.frenode.org | 04:16 |
| Daskreech | Wait | 04:16 |
| Daskreech | is it http://webchat.freenode.org ? | 04:16 |
| Daskreech | No wait .net | 04:16 |
| Daskreech | I should really remember that URL better | 04:17 |
| Linuxephus | Daskreech: It was one of the Freenode sites. It fails my memory as to exactly what the URL was at the moment. And what I meant to infer was: I'm not sure whether I like accessing Freenode via Chromium or Quassel-->>LOLing | 04:19 |
| Belial` | is anyone else having issues with kde going dim and blacking the screen out when watching a movie? | 04:19 |
| Daskreech | Belial`: Change the power setting ? | 04:19 |
| Belial` | Daskreech: to what? shouldn't it just know not to do that while a movie is playing? | 04:20 |
| Daskreech | Linuxephus: :-) I use Konversation myself | 04:20 |
| Linuxephus | Belial`: That will be in your Desktop Settings if I'm not mistaken. Standby, I'll doublecheck that. | 04:20 |
| vehemoth | how would I go about just using certain parts of kde? | 04:20 |
| Belial` | Linuxephus: ok, thanks. | 04:20 |
| Linuxephus | "I use Konversation myself"-->>Huh, I'll go peruse that when my time permits Dask. | 04:21 |
| Daskreech | Belial`: It should if the video player sets the mode. Some of them don't. The new KDE release should have this much easier. There will be a one button switch for it and you can link that to an application so even if the videoplayer doesn't set the power profile correctly Kwin will do it for you | 04:21 |
| Daskreech | vehemoth: Install the parts you care about with dependencies and run those | 04:22 |
| Belial` | Daskreech: i see. | 04:22 |
| Daskreech | Belial`: for now you can press alt+F2 and type power | 04:22 |
| vehemoth | Daskreech: I have as much as I can, is it possible to modify the start up process so only some of it starts? | 04:23 |
| Daskreech | vehemoth: What are you trying to acheive ? | 04:24 |
| Linuxephus | Belial`: Dask is correct. Go into your Power Profile Settings and Unclick the "dim display" checkbox in whatever profile you're currently using. | 04:24 |
| vehemoth | Daskreech: I don't want the bar at the bottom or whatever does the desktop. I'm assuming it's plasma. I would like the notifications. Seperatley from kde I seem to be able to only start krunner and kwin | 04:25 |
| mr-rich | Simple question: How do I run a program as a different user? | 04:26 |
| Belial` | alrighty. thanks, Daskreech, Linuxephus. do i need to uncheck screen energy saving also? | 04:26 |
| Daskreech | vehemoth: if all you want is krunner and kwin you can probably do that. I used to run that as my only options | 04:26 |
| Daskreech | vehemoth: If you specifically don't want just the bar you can click on that button at the end and remove it | 04:27 |
| Linuxephus | Belial`: Not that I'm aware of. My only does that with the "dim display" active. | 04:27 |
| Daskreech | Belial`: That would stop the screen powerdown from kicking in | 04:27 |
| vehemoth | Daskreech: can you tell me what draws the notifications? | 04:27 |
| Belial` | alright. thanks again. | 04:27 |
| Daskreech | mr-rich: In theory you should be able to run it from krunner and choose run as a different user from the little wrench beside the application name | 04:28 |
| Daskreech | No idea if the bug blocking it was fixed though | 04:28 |
| Daskreech | vehemoth: knotify which comes from kdelibs. If you have a Kapp running then the notifications exist. | 04:28 |
| Daskreech | Plasma will skin them to whatever theme you are running. If you don't have plasma running they become static grey boxes | 04:29 |
| Daskreech | mr-rich: which program would you like to run? | 04:29 |
| mr-rich | Daskreech: Dolphin | 04:30 |
| Daskreech | mr-rich: Hmm ok let me try it out. I think that might still be broken though | 04:31 |
| vehemoth | Daskreech: Okay thanks, I'm going to try some thigns and hopefulyl they'll work | 04:32 |
| mr-rich | Daskreech: If it doesn't work, I have a work around ... | 04:32 |
| Daskreech | mr-rich: :) there are workarounds of course. That's just a GUI exposure of other wasys of doing it. Would be nice if it worked though :-/ Seems that bug hasn't been closed | 04:33 |
| Linuxephus | Belial`: Alternately, Gnome Mplayer has a setting that disables Dimming & SCreensaver during video playback. That's merely a "heads-up" mind you. | 04:33 |
| Daskreech | vehemoth: alright. Are you jsut trying to get rid of the panel? | 04:33 |
| Daskreech | Belial`: To be honest I can't remember when last player didn't flip those properly though | 04:34 |
| Belial` | it happens with dragon player. | 04:34 |
| Belial` | so far it's the only i've used. | 04:34 |
| jmichaelx | does smplayer not also have such settings? | 04:36 |
| Linuxephus | Gnome Mplayer would stop that from being a problem for those not wanting to muck about in the Power Management settings. Works perfectly for me on Kubuntu 11.04, though I've the "dim display" option unchecked to begin with. | 04:36 |
| vehemoth | Daskreech: I'm trying to mix and match things that I like from different environments. Though I'm obviously not used to trying to rip apart DEs. This one had frustrated me so much but I just looked over a page and found that I could start krunner separetely | 04:36 |
| Daskreech | vehemoth: You can indeed | 04:36 |
| Linuxephus | jmichaelx: I'm not sure since I haven't used it since my Gnome 2.32 desktop days. | 04:37 |
| jmichaelx | Linuxephus: just a question, but why would you use gnome mplayer in kde, with options like smplayer around? | 04:38 |
| jmichaelx | ahh | 04:38 |
| vehemoth | Daskreech: Though I still can't find anything on how to modify the start process of ksmserver and all that stuff | 04:38 |
| jmichaelx | Linuxephus: just asking, since smplayer might be a bit of a better match for kde... but if you prefer gnome mplayer, far be it from me to tell you to use something else | 04:39 |
| Linuxephus | Because I'm what you might refer to as a desktop mixer...Example: I'm running KDE 4.6.x and Gnome3 on my own install. Preferences I suppose. | 04:39 |
| jmichaelx | i must say that i am so far very disappointed in vdpau performance on this machine in oneiric | 04:39 |
| vehemoth | Daskreech: or maybe it was kwrapper4, anyway I'll get onto what I was trying | 04:39 |
| Daskreech | vehemoth: alright | 04:40 |
| Daskreech | !info kmplayer | 04:40 |
| jmichaelx | Linuxephus: yup, it's all about what works best for you | 04:40 |
| Daskreech | !info kaffiene | 04:40 |

| Daskreech | Hmm | 04:40 |
| jmichaelx | kaffeine* | 04:40 |
| Deet` | Ok, so i updated and upgraded my way from 8.04 to 10.04 and finally got all my media to play. it was awesome. then i paused Commando, left for an hour, came back and i'm right back to square one. audio works, video is just a blue background | 04:40 |
| Daskreech | !info kaffeine | 04:40 |

| jmichaelx | yay | 04:41 |
| Linuxephus | jmichaelx: And in the end that's all that matters [lol] | 04:41 |
| jmichaelx | Linuxephus: i agree | 04:41 |
| Daskreech | Deet`: what video codec is it using? | 04:41 |
| Daskreech | !info commando | 04:41 |
| ubottu | Package commando does not exist in oneiric | 04:41 |
| Daskreech | what's Commando ? | 04:41 |
| Linuxephus | Daskreech: already have all those you've listed. As for 11.10, I'm waiting for it to mature a bit more so to speak. | 04:41 |
| Deet` | movie with Ahhnold | 04:41 |
| Daskreech | Linuxephus: Good move | 04:42 |
| Deet` | that part was probably irrelevent. had no idea what codec is being used. | 04:42 |
| Daskreech | Deet`: Oh Ahhnold. He'll blue screen anything | 04:42 |
| Deet` | lol Daskreech, not just him, every movie files | 04:42 |
| Deet` | just a blue background in the media player. doesn't mater which player i use either | 04:42 |
| Daskreech | Ah that's more worrying :) | 04:43 |
| vehemoth | How would I log out with a command? | 04:43 |
| Daskreech | Deet`: sounds like a video option. What driver are you using? | 04:43 |
| Daskreech | vehemoth: logout ? | 04:43 |
| Daskreech | vehemoth: unless you mean from KDE | 04:43 |
| Deet` | good question. i just know it worked, didn't do anything then it quit. lemme check the video settings | 04:43 |
| Daskreech | Deet`: What video card do you have? | 04:44 |
| Deet` | ATI Radeon 9550 | 04:44 |
| Daskreech | Ah I've the 9560 | 04:44 |
| Deet` | 256mb, AGP8x | 04:45 |
| Daskreech | Or 9650 I forget | 04:45 |
| vehemoth | Daskreech: pkill X probably, unless there's a better way of course | 04:45 |
| Deet` | i forgot how to look up my drives by command line or in kde4 | 04:45 |
| Deet` | :/ | 04:45 |
| Daskreech | vehemoth: you can do a dbus logout command | 04:45 |
| Deet` | i know it installed the ATI catalyst stuff | 04:45 |
| Daskreech | Deet`: umm.. depends on what you are looking for | 04:46 |
| vehemoth | Daskreech: cool, I'll look into it | 04:46 |
| Deet` | drivers* sorry | 04:46 |
| Daskreech | Deet`: Ah well then I know what driver you are using then | 04:46 |
| Deet` | well, at least someone knows what i'm doing :P | 04:47 |
| Deet` | except i don't belive i'm using the ATI driver as Catalyst doesn't run | 04:48 |
| Deet` | joy: aticonfig: No supported adapters detected | 04:49 |
| Daskreech | mr-rich: you'll be happy to know the krunner works :) I was doing it wrong | 04:50 |
| Daskreech | Deet`: from the command line can you type lsmod | grep ati | 04:51 |
| Daskreech | let me know if it returns anything | 04:51 |
| Daskreech | mr-rich: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205229 | 04:52 |
| ubottu | KDE bug 205229 in general "The "run as different user" option doesn't work" [Normal,Resolved: fixed] | 04:52 |
| Deet` | nope | 04:52 |
| Daskreech | Deet`: press up and replace ati with radeon | 04:53 |
| Deet` | Daskreech: nada | 04:53 |
| Daskreech | Deet`: press up again and replace radeon with fglrx | 04:53 |
| Deet` | nothign | 04:54 |
| Daskreech | >_> | 04:54 |
| Deet` | something has gone way wrong | 04:54 |
| Daskreech | Deet`: can you pastebin the output of lsmod for me? | 04:55 |
| Deet` | the funny thing is there is no output | 04:55 |
| Deet` | just goes to next line | 04:55 |
| Deet` | oh wait | 04:55 |
| Daskreech | Deet`: from lsmod with nothing else on the line ? | 04:55 |
| Deet` | you want all of i | 04:55 |
| Deet` | it* | 04:55 |
| Daskreech | Deet`: Yes | 04:55 |
| Deet` | Daskreech: http://paste.kde.org/137053/ | 04:57 |
| Daskreech | Deet`: do you have onboard video for that computer? | 04:58 |
| Deet` | nope | 04:58 |
| Daskreech | Deet`: You don't have a driver loaded up for ati | 04:59 |
| Deet` | i see that. | 04:59 |
| Daskreech | Deet`: what does sudo modprobe radeon && lsmod | grep radeon say ? | 05:00 |
| Deet` | Daskreech: i don't know what that was supposed to do, but it killed my gfx until reboot | 05:04 |
| Daskreech | Deet`: well that's useful to know | 05:04 |
| mr-rich | Daskreech: so, where do I find "run as a different user" in krunner? | 05:05 |
| Daskreech | Deet`: could you pastebin sudo lshw -C video | 05:05 |
| Deet` | i'm gonna have to fight with it tommorow. need to sleep | 05:05 |
| Daskreech | mr-rich: type dolphin. You will see (at least) two entries one with a cog at one end and a wrench on the other. Click the wrench | 05:05 |
| Deet` | Daskreech: here's this tho http://paste.kde.org/137059/ | 05:06 |
| Daskreech | Deet`: ok if you have mplayer you can try redirecting xv tomorrow | 05:06 |
| Daskreech | Deet`: mplayer -vo xv <path/to/movie> | 05:06 |
| Deet` | i got kmplayer does that count? | 05:06 |
| Daskreech | Deet`: it does indeed | 05:06 |
| Deet` | that gives me blue backgrounds too :/ | 05:06 |
| Daskreech | Deet`: well it's not an xv issue then | 05:07 |
| Deet` | any who, windows still works. i'll figure it out tommorow | 05:07 |
| Daskreech | Deet`: both unclaimed. :-/ Ok | 05:07 |
| Daskreech | Deet`: night | 05:07 |
| Deet` | and all my 3d games work fine too | 05:07 |
| Deet` | o.O | 05:07 |
| Deet` | gnight | 05:07 |
| mr-rich | Daskreech: I click on the wrench I get a list of plugins ... ??? | 05:09 |
| Daskreech | mr-rich: wrong wrench | 05:09 |
| Daskreech | mr-rich: the wrench beside the result for dolphin | 05:09 |
| keithzg | The one that says "Run dolphin" | 05:10 |
| Daskreech | ^^ | 05:11 |
| mr-rich | Daskreech: Found that ... :) ... getting nothing ... | 05:14 |
| Daskreech | mr-rich: what version of KDE are you runing? | 05:15 |
| mr-rich | Daskreech: the one that came with 11.10 ... 4.7, I think? | 05:17 |
| Daskreech | mr-rich: should work. | 05:18 |
| mr-rich | Daskreech: I enter the username & password, but I get no window ... | 05:18 |
| Daskreech | mr-rich: works here | 05:19 |
| Daskreech | takes a little while to open | 05:19 |
| Daskreech | mr-rich: try it with kate | 05:19 |
| mr-rich | didn't work ... I think I know what the problem is ... I have to edit the user and make it so it can run x apps ... :) | 05:22 |
| mr-rich | I have a local web server with vhosts ... and I'm doing some dev work for a club I belong to ... so, in order to make it act like a regular web server, I created a user for that web ... | 05:24 |
| scud_bucket | if there are any dev doods here who contributed to Kubuntu, just wanna say thanks. been using it for two weeks now...im hooked. | 05:24 |
| mr-rich | gave it limited permissions & stuff ... :( | 05:24 |
| Daskreech | scud_bucket: They are here but more likely to get your thanks if you go to #kubuntu-devel and say that | 05:29 |
| Linuxephus | A-yuh, methinks I like the Quassel client better than such being done in a web-browser. I gave Konversations a shot Daskreech, and thus will I be sticking with Quassel for all intents & purposes. | 05:34 |
| Daskreech | Linuxephus: Good enough :) | 05:36 |
| Linuxephus | Daskreech: I notice Konversation seems to be somewhat new by Kubuntu standards. And is there a way to retrieve messages after having logged out on the off chance one has been addressed in said process of being offline? | 05:38 |
| Daskreech | Linuxephus: For Quassel there is. Not for konversation | 05:38 |
| Daskreech | Linuxephus: Of course someone can leave you messag with msgserv | 05:38 |
| Linuxephus | Ha! Your a veritable wealth of knowledge there Dask. | 05:39 |
| Linuxephus | Daskreech: I believe that should be in the log settings themself then, yes? | 05:39 |
| Daskreech | Linuxephus: what shoudl be? | 05:40 |
| Linuxephus | Daskreech: Backlog Fetching to be more specific. In what manner can that be utilized? | 05:41 |
| Daskreech | Linuxephus: Ah umm your client logs the things it sees (if you have that enabled of course) | 05:41 |
| Daskreech | If you are offline then that stuff in general is gone. Though this channel is logged by robots and put up on the internet | 05:42 |
| Linuxephus | Yes, I'm aware of how the "client log" operates now. What of the internet logs themselves, can they be accessed by anyone? | 05:43 |
| sillytones | Daskreech: are there any irc clients that can use the online logs the way that quassel uses its quasselcore for backlogs? | 05:44 |
| Linuxephus | P.S.-Of course I have that enabled. | 05:44 |
| Linuxephus | What Silly stated. | 05:44 |
| Daskreech | Linuxephus: that's dependent per channel. Ubuntu Project has all the channels owned by them logged and publicly available. some (most?) channels are not logged and publicly available though I suspect many will have a bot logging it somewhere | 05:45 |
| Daskreech | sillytones: Quassel | 05:45 |
| sillytones | Daskreech: Quasel can use online logs instead of quasselcore? | 05:46 |
| Daskreech | In theory any GUI irc client could use quassel core and I tried to see if konversation would support a plugin that does that | 05:46 |
| Linuxephus | That would be the answer I sought and suspected Dask. Never hurts to double check though when in the process of learning new open source type tech. | 05:46 |
| Daskreech | sillytones: Ah misread that :) No since a) most channels don't have an online log and b) every online log is up to i) the way it was logged and ii) the way it's presented. There is no common way of presenting, finding or accessing that information | 05:47 |
| Daskreech | and No good irc client is going to try and tie itself to a few channels on a single server. | 05:48 |
| kadoban | how do i turn on 3 button mouse emulation in kubuntu? i don't see anything in the mouse settings | 05:48 |
| sillytones | ah makes sense | 05:48 |
| Daskreech | I would guess that for most scriptable irc clients you could write a plugin for channels you care about. of course you could just do what Quassel is trying to imitate | 05:48 |
| sillytones | too bad, its nice having irc on all the time, but I only have one year of free Amazon E2 | 05:48 |
| kadoban | as in, hitting left+right click = middle click. there must be a way, right? | 05:49 |
| Daskreech | sillytones: irssi and screen? | 05:49 |
| Daskreech | kadoban: hitting right and left at the same time should emulate middle click | 05:49 |
| sillytones | Daskreech: you still have to have a server that's on 24-7 | 05:49 |
| kadoban | Daskreech: and if it doesn't? ('cause it doesn't...) | 05:50 |
| Linuxephus | Daskreech: Are you sure about that as according to Quassel's backlog fetching option, it lists two options: 1-Fixed chat logs. 2-Unread messages per chat. | 05:50 |
| Daskreech | sillytones: if you make friends on IRC you'll find a lot of people willing to give you a small account on their server. A number of people have a small machine sitting at home just for this purpose | 05:50 |
| === z is now known as Guest13777 | ||
| sillytones | oh cool | 05:51 |
| Daskreech | kadoban: you can probably run xinput list to find out what ID your mouse has | 05:52 |
| Daskreech | then run xinput set-prop <device_ID> 248 1 | 05:53 |
| Daskreech | That will set middlemousebutton (which is property 248) to on (which is 1) | 05:53 |
| Daskreech | Linuxephus: sure about what? | 05:53 |
| Linuxephus | Scratch that question Dask. I misread one of your comments to Silly while perusing two other channels aside from this one. | 05:55 |

| vehemoth | are the kde notifications part of plasma? | 06:10 |
| LINKSWORD2 | OK, this is unusual. The last few times that I've upgraded to Kubuntu 11.10, I've had problems with the window-bar at the top of a window not displaying. | 06:10 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I'm currently on Kubuntu 11.04 with KDE 4.6. I need to know if the problem I'm experiencing with Kubuntu 11.10 is fixed before I choose to upgrade or not. | 06:10 |
| vehemoth | the only information I can find relating to something that looks like notifications is a thing called extender. any ideas if it's part of plasma? | 06:15 |
| LINKSWORD2 | !knotify | vehemoth | 06:17 |
| LINKSWORD2 | KNotify is its own application, vehemoth. From what I know, it's not part of the plasma-shell interface. | 06:18 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I could be wrong, but in studying the Linux system interface, I'm fairly sure. | 06:19 |
| vehemoth | LINKSWORD2: does knotify still exist, I can't find anything on it for the recent kde releases | 06:20 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I'm checking. | 06:20 |
| vehemoth | though I think I've found a way to test whether notifications is part of extender | 06:20 |
| LINKSWORD2 | OK. If you'll check that, I'll look into my research info, and we can compare results. | 06:21 |
| LINKSWORD2 | vehemoth: From what I can tell, KNotify has been integrated into the system notifications manager, which MAY still be under the KNotify name. | 06:24 |
| LINKSWORD2 | It no longer shows up in the applications list, however, so I'm not sure what to make of it. | 06:24 |
| Daskreech | vehemoth: No they are just skinned by plasma | 06:24 |
| * LINKSWORD2 facepalms.* | 06:25 | |
| Daskreech | LINKSWORD2: It's part of the kde libraries | 06:25 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Daskreech: I don't suppose you've scrolled back and found my posts? | 06:26 |
| Daskreech | plasma is just one way those notifications can be communicated to the user | 06:26 |
| Daskreech | LINKSWORD2: how far back? | 06:26 |
| vehemoth | I'll check what I was after and come back | 06:26 |
| Daskreech | LINKSWORD2: You couldn't run kwin ? | 06:26 |
| vehemoth | it does seem to be plasma that displays them | 06:27 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Re-posting.... | 06:27 |
| vehemoth | guess I'll be trying to compile the ubuntu one | 06:27 |
| LINKSWORD2 | OK, this is unusual. The last few times that I've upgraded to Kubuntu 11.10, I've had problems with the window-bar at the top of a window not displaying. | 06:28 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I'm currently on Kubuntu 11.04 with KDE 4.6. I need to know if the problem I'm experiencing with Kubuntu 11.10 is fixed before I choose to upgrade or not. | 06:28 |

| Daskreech | vehemoth: if You kill the system tray in plasma (which houses the notifications) you should just get a grey box | 06:29 |
| Daskreech | LINKSWORD2: RIght Kwin wouldn't run for you? | 06:29 |
| Daskreech | LINKSWORD2: open a konsole | 06:29 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I don't even know if it's kwin. | 06:29 |
| Daskreech | vehemoth: if You kill the system tray in plasma (which houses the notifications) you should just get a grey box | 06:30 |
| LINKSWORD2 | And for now, I'm still on version 11.04. I'm hoping to find out if the problem has been fixed before I upgrade. | 06:30 |
| Daskreech | LINKSWORD2: type in kquitapp kwin && sleep 15 && kwin & | 06:30 |
| Daskreech | LINKSWORD2: tell me if that's what you are seeing when you go to 11.10 | 06:30 |
| LINKSWORD2 | O_o! | 06:31 |
| LINKSWORD2 | OK? Checking. | 06:31 |
| vehemoth | Daskreech: I don't quite understand but I don't need to. and those plsama extender things you can drag onto the desktop anyway | 06:31 |
| Daskreech | vehemoth: :-) OK | 06:31 |
| vehemoth | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GIPKd5EiuE | 06:32 |
| vehemoth | demonstartion on them if you want | 06:32 |
| Daskreech | vehemoth: Thanks | 06:32 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Daskreech: Close, but not quite. It's "there" but it becomes completely transparent, and does not show the buttons on the top window-bar. | 06:32 |
| Daskreech | LINKSWORD2: I think you may somehow be running compiz | 06:33 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Not that I know of.... | 06:33 |
| Daskreech | that does sound like a compiz setting. COuld be wrong though | 06:33 |
| Daskreech | Anyway bed time for me :) | 06:33 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Wait a moment, please. | 06:33 |
| Daskreech | alright | 06:34 |
| LINKSWORD2 | OK.... I tried that same string and typed in compiz in place of kwin.... With no results. | 06:35 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Looks like Compiz is specific to 11.10? | 06:35 |
| vehemoth | kwin uses compiz as a back end doesn't it. I think that's what happens when you have desktop effects enabled | 06:36 |
| Daskreech | LINKSWORD2: no it's specific to ubuntu | 06:36 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I've had desktop effects both enabled and disabled in 11.10, and the problem does not change. | 06:36 |
| Daskreech | I have no idea why it would turn up in an upgrade but the removing of buttons and being transparent is something people have been upset about with Ubuntu settings | 06:37 |
| Daskreech | LINKSWORD2: How do you know it's transparent ? | 06:37 |
| Daskreech | vehemoth: No it doens't kwin and compiz cannot coexist | 06:38 |
| Daskreech | If one starts the other must end | 06:38 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Daskreech: Because I can see the background of the desktop behind the window in question. If I click to the very far-right, the window closes like I have clicked on the X button. | 06:39 |
| LINKSWORD2 | But it does not show up. At least not visibly. | 06:39 |
| vehemoth | I didn't mean compiz as a full WM, compiz as a library | 06:39 |
| Daskreech | LINKSWORD2: and dragging around the area above the application moves it? | 06:40 |
| Daskreech | vehemoth: ah. Well still incorrect. I don't think that compiz has a library first of all | 06:40 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Daskreech: I'm not sure, because it doesn't restore to a non-full size. | 06:41 |
| Daskreech | vehemoth: They may very well use the same OpenGL library though | 06:41 |
| Daskreech | LINKSWORD2: >_> | 06:41 |
| Daskreech | LINKSWORD2: are you just running plasma-netbook instead of plasma-desktop ? | 06:41 |
| LINKSWORD2 | All it seems that I can do is maximize or minimize it with keyboard shortcuts I have assigned globally. | 06:41 |
| Daskreech | Now that sounds remarkably like a plasma-netbook setting | 06:42 |
| LINKSWORD2 | Nope. Desktop. I've been through this roughly a half-dozen times. This time I'm hoping to find out if it's fixed or how to fix it before I upgrade. | 06:42 |
| Daskreech | Ah well. Sorry I've not been much help there | 06:42 |
| vehemoth | www.compiz.org, read the description maybe you can understand it better | 06:42 |
| LINKSWORD2 | One thing I'm thinking of is possibly that the netbook settings could have migrated to the desktop preferences list, but that would imply a SERIOUS glitch. | 06:43 |
| vehemoth | though I think I'm wrong about kwin using it | 06:43 |
| vehemoth | http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KWin/4.0-release-notes#Why_not_Compiz.3F | 06:44 |
| Daskreech | LINKSWORD2: Quite serious. | 06:44 |
| LINKSWORD2 | And I just don't see how that could happen. | 06:45 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I'm going to hit the looney bin. >.< | 06:45 |
| LINKSWORD2 | I may just have to wait until Kubuntu 12 comes out. | 06:46 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | kde in ubuntu 11.10 is kinda buggy. i was in virtualbox and it froze up my whole pc, then tried to burn a cd via brasero, and the burning hung up. i was liking kde otherwise. any tips? | 06:54 |
| Peace- | bah | 06:56 |
| Peace- | virtualbox? | 06:56 |
| Torch | AndroidLoverInSF: neither virtualbox nor brasero is kde software | 06:56 |
| Peace- | try to load kde in failsafe mode | 06:56 |
| Peace- | but i guess is a virtualbox issue | 06:56 |
| Peace- | not a kde issue | 06:57 |
| Torch | AndroidLoverInSF: the former uses a kernel module that can easily lock up your machine, the latter deals with hardware that can be buggy and bring down the machine, too | 06:57 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | yeah, but still, interaction with kde | 06:57 |
| AndroidLoverInSF | brasero sucks i know, but still | 06:58 |

| naftilos76 | Hi everyone, i am facing a major problem with kmail 2 in Kubuntu 11.10. The langiages installed were English and my native Greek. I uninstalled Greek and before restarting or loging out i reinstalled through the tool in system tools in Kubuntu. Next time i entered Kubuntu all of my emails were gone. Help me please. All the emails are related to my business and the last backup is not recent. Can anyone help? | 09:35 |
| Cradam | naftilos76: sorry, in most cases if somethings gone, its gone fol | 09:36 |
| Cradam | *for good | 09:36 |
| Cradam | naftilos76: do you have a way to access your email in your browser? | 09:36 |
| naftilos76 | everything is erased from the email servers. isn't kmail using akonadi to store everything in db? | 09:37 |
| Cradam | ooh, why on earth would you erase it from the servers unless your allowance is tiny | 09:37 |
| naftilos76 | that is not the problem now man | 09:38 |

| Cradam | oops | 09:38 |

| naftilos76 | well it seems that nothing is lost | 09:39 |
| Cradam | what but you just said you couldnt get at it | 09:39 |

| lilian | Cradam: Just use it for urself, and leave me alone with chrome now | 13:16 |
| Cradam | lilian: i know so, i have to fix font bugs caused by gecko in my web pages | 13:17 |
| SunTsu | Cradam: it's better regarding js speed, for everything else I like ff more | 13:17 |
| lilian | Cradam: Ow, ye, for a Web Designer/Developer it's better cause it doesn't keep to the standarts as Firefox does, so if u make some mistakes in Chrome is ok, I know | 13:17 |
| Cradam | SunTsu: the only thing i prefer in firefox is how it handles border-radius | 13:17 |
| Cradam | lilian: chrome follows the standards | 13:18 |
| lilian | Cradam: LOL | 13:18 |
| Cradam | lilian: btw i like firefox, i just wont have someone say its better than chrome because it just isnt | 13:18 |
| BluesKaj | chromium was my default unril the sync mode screwed up my facebook page and gave the account to my wife's page , so I was no longer the owner of my own page ..Firefox knows how to make the distinction between me and my wife's pages , and we are on different pcs | 13:19 |
| lilian | Cradam: version 3.5 wasn't, that's when all created this idea of Chrome being better, I was using chrome than too, since Firefox 6 I think Firefox is better than Chrome | 13:19 |
| Cradam | BluesKaj: well just make 2 different sync accounts | 13:19 |
| BluesKaj | Cradam, they are differnt sync accounts | 13:20 |
| Cradam | BluesKaj: hmm weird | 13:20 |
| BluesKaj | yes , very | 13:20 |
| lilian | Ok, I came here for other reasons than listening that Chrome is better for no reason... | 13:21 |
| Cradam | luckily i dont have 2 people using my comps | 13:21 |
| Cradam | i have m | 13:21 |
| Cradam | e | 13:21 |
| lilian | Is there any developer in here? :) | 13:21 |
| BluesKaj | lilian, ask away | 13:21 |
| lilian | [16:12:16] <lilian> Who else things that this add-on should come by default in Kubuntu?: http://kde-apps.org/content/show.php/Oxygen+KDE+%28Firefox+Theme%29?content=117962 | 13:21 |
| BluesKaj | Cradam, I already explained , they are different pcs , I have a linuxbox and she has her W7 box | 13:22 |
| Cradam | lilian: you admitted that js was better in chrome | 13:22 |
| Cradam | so thats not no reason | 13:23 |
| lilian | Cradam: Only JS Engine is better... The rest of the browser... Firefox is better in any other way(except boot time, but wait for Firefox 8), I'll show u a video what it will be like since version 8 | 13:23 |
| lilian | Cradam: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WqHaSC5zkg | 13:24 |
| Cradam | lilian: sure, i like new browsers and want to switch to firefox, its just that i find that chrome is faster for my workflow atm | 13:24 |
| Cradam | yep thats fast | 13:24 |
| lilian | Cradam: Continue finding that and don't try to convince every guy that uses Firefox to use a Semi-Closed Source browser | 13:25 |
| hakim | anybody knows how i could connect a samba drive ? | 13:29 |
| Peace- | hakim: sudo apt-get install samba | 13:31 |
| hakim | thanks, but i already have it, i just don't know how to make it like a drive | 13:33 |
| lilian | hakim: You use KDE? | 13:33 |
| hakim | i do | 13:33 |
| lilian | hakim: And you want to connect to someone else? | 13:34 |
| lilian | hakim: Which uses a Windows machine I suppose | 13:34 |
| hakim | yes, we have a server, and i need to access it via samba | 13:34 |
| lilian | hakim: Open Dolphin | 13:34 |
| hakim | yup | 13:34 |
| lilian | hakim: To the left u see "Networks" | 13:34 |
| lilian | hakim: To the left u see "Network" | 13:34 |
| hakim | ok | 13:34 |
| lilian | and open Samba Shares | 13:35 |
| hakim | it's empty | 13:35 |
| lilian | hmm, it works with no problems in my case | 13:35 |
| hakim | ok, i'm a beginner. the server is a linux one. but the admin installed samba so workers (like me before) using windows could access it | 13:36 |
| hakim | so i don't know, maybe there is another way | 13:36 |
| lilian | Even if it writes "Samba Shares" do: sudo apt-get install samba -y | 13:36 |
| hakim | ok i'm trying | 13:37 |
| hakim | it says that it's up to date | 13:37 |
| lilian | Then, go again into Dolphin->Network->Samba Shares | 13:37 |
| lilian | It should show u that it searches in the bottom-right corner of Dolphin | 13:38 |
| lilian | There should appear something, even if u r alone in the network | 13:38 |
| hakim | now i see a work group, and my comp is in it but that's all. so probably the server is in another workgroup ? | 13:38 |
| lilian | yep, looks like the group may not be called "WORKGROUP" in ur case | 13:39 |
| hakim | ok thanks a lot lilian for your help :) | 13:39 |
| lilian | btw | 13:39 |
| lilian | try to using the IP | 13:39 |
| lilian | for example smb://192.168.1.2 | 13:40 |
| hakim | ok, where do i type that ? i'm so used to windows and it's address bar | 13:40 |
| lilian | at the top of the dolphin u see "smb:" in bolt | 13:41 |
| lilian | just click on it | 13:41 |
| lilian | 192.168.1.2 was just an example, I'm not sure what IP's u have there | 13:41 |
| hakim | yeah ok :) | 13:41 |
| hakim | nothing appears | 13:42 |
| lilian | And you wrote the right IP? | 13:42 |
| BluesKaj | hmm, I recommend not disabling multiarch support if you run a 64bit system, just fixed my depndency problem after updating today , by re-enabling multiarch support | 13:42 |
| hakim | yes | 13:42 |
| lilian | hakim: sec, I'll try it with my mate here | 13:43 |
| hakim | ok thank you | 13:43 |
| lilian | It works | 13:46 |
| lilian | He uses Windows 7 and I use Kubuntu 11.10 with KDE 4.7.2 | 13:46 |
| lilian | in smb: wrote his IP | 13:46 |
| lilian | he shared with "Everyone" not "Homegroup" | 13:47 |
| lilian | the only problem, it asked for his Username and Password because he didn't removed this option from settings | 13:47 |
| hakim | ok weird, i'm probably doing something wrong. | 13:47 |
| hakim | i have a username and password, i'll ask my admin which workgroup the server is in | 13:47 |
| hakim | or i'll try to mount a ssh drive instead | 13:48 |
| hakim | anyway, thanks a lot for your time lilian | 13:48 |
| lilian | hakim: np | 13:48 |
| === yofel_ is now known as yofel | ||
| BluesKaj | hakim, in W7 on windows machines the workgroup is now called homegroup , altho the W7 shares still show up in dolphin/samba shares as workgroup. | 13:55 |
| hakim | yeah, unfortunately, i'm not on W7 anymore, and the server is running on linux. i don't know if i made myself clear earlier, sometimes i tend to be confusing sorry | 13:56 |
| hakim | so the workgroup is probably not called homegroup either | 13:56 |
| antoranz | hi, people | 14:00 |
| antoranz | since I dist-upgraded to oneiric, I can't use kmail | 14:00 |
| antoranz | "Failed to fetch the resource collection" | 14:00 |
| antoranz | does it ring a bell? | 14:00 |
| Linkmaster | antoranz: You'll be well suited to look at the bug reports/forums on that. Or try #kmail as well, the distro went from kmail to kmail2, so there are some differences and the like. | 14:02 |
| vadrao | Hi all, How can I open konsole with a keyboard command. I tried looking in Global keyboard shortcuts. But I could not find it. | 14:04 |
| SunTsu | vadrao: if there is no shortcut - define one | 14:04 |
| hakim | vadrao: i actually use launchy, but i don't know if you want to install another software | 14:04 |
| BluesKaj | hakim, no I understtod that you are on kubuntu and I thought you were trying to access shares ona W7 machine ., hence my explanation | 14:04 |
| vadrao | SunTsu: How to go about that. Using Global keyboard shortcuts ? | 14:05 |
| hakim | ok BluesKaj thanks :) | 14:05 |
| Trashi | hi. i try to sync my iphone with the help of amarok, but it shows allways "zero tracks". by default on my system exists the packages like libimobiledevice2 and libmtp9 ... if i understand the descriptions right, it should work. does anybody have any experience to sync iphone/pod from kubuntu 11.10? | 14:05 |
| vadrao | hakim: I would like to have simple keyboard shortcut through which I could do that | 14:06 |
| hakim | ok, i see. i like launchy because it allows you to launch any app just by typing the first letter its name. so i find it useful, because there is no equivalent natively in windows and i'm used to it now. but maybe kubuntu lets you define all your shortcuts ^^ | 14:07 |
| SunTsu | hakim: I can't tell you how exactly, because I don't run kde at the moment. I just know that you can create shortcuts that run commands, did that a lot | 14:11 |
| vadrao | SunTsu: Thanks.. | 14:12 |
| * BluesKaj just adds his fav apps into the panel , one mouse click does the trick | 14:12 | |
| SunTsu | BluesKaj: I like to e.g. run my screensaver in lock mode with just a single shortcut | 14:13 |
| hakim | ok :) SunTsu | 14:14 |
| SunTsu | hakim: yeah, sorry, meant vadrao | 14:14 |
| hakim | ^^ | 14:14 |
| BluesKaj | SunTsu, isn't it great , all these little tips that make life on linux so easy :) | 14:14 |
| hakim | well i have another problem, i downloaded mysql workbench, tried to install it, but it stopped on the dependicies step and now i can't use it or re-install it, what do i do ? | 14:16 |
| BluesKaj | hakim, 64 bit ? | 14:22 |
| hakim | yup | 14:23 |
| BluesKaj | 11.10? | 14:23 |
| hakim | also :) | 14:23 |
| BluesKaj | got multiarch support installed , it should by default , but chack to make sure. | 14:23 |
| BluesKaj | err check | 14:23 |
| hakim | sorry to know such a few, but how do i check ? | 14:25 |
| BluesKaj | open muon , and type in multiarch, hakim | 14:26 |
| hakim | BluesKaj: ok | 14:26 |
| hakim | BluesKaj: i only have multiarch-support(amd64) and ia32-libs-multiarch (i368) installed | 14:27 |
| hakim | should i install multiarch-support i386 , | 14:27 |
| hakim | ? | 14:27 |
| BluesKaj | ok, then that's not the problem , hakim | 14:29 |
| hakim | ok BluesKaj | 14:29 |
| BluesKaj | no hakim what you have is sufficient | 14:29 |
| BluesKaj | ok hakim open a terminal , and run , sudo dpkg --configure -a | 14:32 |
| hakim | BluesKaj: it did nothing | 14:33 |
| BluesKaj | ok that's good | 14:33 |
| phoenix_firebrd | hello everyone | 14:33 |
| xdunlapx | hi phoenix_firebrd | 14:34 |
| phoenix_firebrd | xdunlapx: hi | 14:35 |
| xdunlapx | how are you today? | 14:35 |
| BluesKaj | hakim, in the terminal run , sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 14:35 |
| phoenix_firebrd | xdunlapx: fine, i hope the same from you | 14:35 |
| xdunlapx | phoenix_firebrd: yes I'm fine :) | 14:35 |
| phoenix_firebrd | xdunlapx: :) | 14:36 |
| hakim | BluesKaj: ok done :) | 14:38 |
| BluesKaj | any dependency errors , hakim ? | 14:38 |
| hakim | BluesKaj: 0 update, 0 installed, 0 removed and 0 not updated (sorry my kubuntu is in french, so i'm translating) | 14:39 |
| BluesKaj | hakim, , np that's fine | 14:40 |
| hakim | ok | 14:40 |
| BluesKaj | hakim, odd I can't find mysql workbench in the software sources | 14:44 |
| hakim | i took it on the mysql website : http://www.mysql.fr/downloads/mirror.php?id=403986#mirrors | 14:45 |
| hakim | they say : linux 11.04, but it should work with 11.10 no ? | 14:45 |
| hakim | BluesKaj: i mean it's a minor version | 14:46 |
| yofel | hakim: kubuntu versions represent the date (2011.october), not any other usefuly version scheme. | 14:47 |
| yofel | so it can work, but no guarantee | 14:48 |
| hakim | yofel: oh ok i see | 14:48 |
| yofel | *useful | 14:48 |
| hakim | well that's not convenient at all, i need it lol, and i don't want to go back on windows | 14:48 |
| phoenix_firebrd | yofel: do you know when the xbmc will be available in ppa? | 14:49 |
| yofel | phoenix_firebrd: what's xbmc? | 14:49 |
| phoenix_firebrd | yofel: a media center | 14:49 |
| yofel | obviously not, sry ^^ | 14:50 |
| phoenix_firebrd | yofel: in this team-xbmc/ppa | 14:51 |
| yofel | no idea | 14:51 |
| phoenix_firebrd | yofel: is there any media center app that is in repos | 14:52 |
| yofel | there was this thing called mythtv, but I never used it | 14:53 |
| BluesKaj | phoenix_firebrd, xbmc has a build that you might be intersted in , http://sshcs.com/xbmc/ | 14:54 |
| OerHeks | mythTV boxee canola | 14:56 |
| Wizard | hi | 14:57 |
| phoenix_firebrd | BluesKaj: The site gives less details of the compilation | 14:57 |
| BluesKaj | phoenix_firebrd, I tried xbmc but it's too clunky for my taste ...too many menus tries too jard to look and work like Windows Media Center ..VLC works for me | 14:58 |
| phoenix_firebrd | BluesKaj: thats right, but thats the only app that can play a 1080hd movie properly | 14:59 |
| phoenix_firebrd | BluesKaj: vlc takes 40% of my cpu | 14:59 |
| phoenix_firebrd | BluesKaj: mplayer with vdpau plays video with audio sync problem | 15:00 |
| BluesKaj | VLC plays 1080 on my tv | 15:01 |
| phoenix_firebrd | BluesKaj: it can but it consumes 40% of my cpu | 15:01 |
| phoenix_firebrd | BluesKaj: mplayer with vdpau and xbmc takes jut 5% | 15:01 |
| phoenix_firebrd | *just | 15:02 |
| BluesKaj | phoenix_firebrd, interesting , never really checked that | 15:02 |
| BluesKaj | i won't install xbmc tho , still too clunky and unstable | 15:03 |
| Wizard | what are you talking about? | 15:03 |
| phoenix_firebrd | BluesKaj: if vlc can play 1080hd video with less cpu usage, then we wont need any other player :) | 15:04 |
| Wizard | hehe, I have strange problem with rekonq, it keeps showing "save as" dialog box when some flash file is embedded in website | 15:06 |
| phoenix_firebrd | OerHeks: i cant find a ppa for boxee, while canola is for mobile i guess | 15:06 |
| phoenix_firebrd | Wizard: spamware? | 15:07 |
| Wizard | no, just ordinary flash movies probably | 15:07 |
| phoenix_firebrd | Wizard: does that happen with youtube? | 15:07 |
| Wizard | but rekonq wants to save them instead of ignoring them | 15:07 |
| phoenix_firebrd | Wizard: try using the manual load of plugins option | 15:08 |
| Wizard | plugins? | 15:08 |
| phoenix_firebrd | Wizard: then there is flash ad, it will be replaced by a button | 15:09 |
| phoenix_firebrd | Wizard: what is your rekonq version? | 15:09 |
| Wizard | phoenix_firebrd: 0.7.90 | 15:09 |
| Wizard | but I'm updating kubuntu now, it may change :) | 15:10 |
| phoenix_firebrd | Wizard: to 11.10? | 15:10 |
| Wizard | hmm, no, I installed 11.10 yesterday, but I'm doing all updates today | 15:10 |
| phoenix_firebrd | Wizard: backports enabled? | 15:11 |
| Wizard | nope, also no ppas | 15:11 |
| phoenix_firebrd | Wizard: then the current version is 0.7.90 | 15:11 |
| yofel | the updates ppa has 0.8.0 | 15:12 |
| Wizard | I hate using ppas | 15:12 |
| kamilnadeem | Hi | 15:12 |
| Wizard | their out of maintenance schedule (if ubuntu has something like this at all) | 15:12 |
| Wizard | they are* | 15:13 |
| Wizard | hi kamilnadeem | 15:13 |
| phoenix_firebrd | yofel: is kde 4.7.2 pushed to normal channel? | 15:15 |
| yofel | yes, should be already in I think | 15:15 |
| yofel | rekonq 0.8 will follow, but that'll take at least a week | 15:16 |
| phoenix_firebrd | yofel: had some some updates that that said as version 4.7.2, but when i check the kde version it says kde 4.7.1, may it is not yet complete | 15:16 |
| Wizard | phoenix_firebrd: no, save .svf dialog doesn't pop up on youtube | 15:17 |
| yofel | phoenix_firebrd: not sure, maybe you need to login again, I'm on 4.7.2 from PPA | 15:18 |
| phoenix_firebrd | Wizard: then it should be the site trying to download a malware into your system | 15:18 |
| Wizard | I don't think so, this swf is just an advertisment :) | 15:19 |
| Wizard | maybe it's embedded wrongly | 15:19 |
| phoenix_firebrd | yofel: i restarted half hour back, no problem, i will check it later | 15:19 |
| Wizard | besides, I don't have flashplugin installed | 15:20 |
| yofel | k | 15:20 |
| phoenix_firebrd | yofel: are you busy | 15:20 |
| yofel | not really | 15:21 |
| phoenix_firebrd | Wizard: if you havent installed flashplugin, then how come the swf is displayed | 15:22 |
| phoenix_firebrd | yofel: can you come to the offtopic channel | 15:22 |
| Wizard | phoenix_firebrd: did you read my messages? I told "save as" window pops up | 15:23 |
| avihay__ | I just lost 4GB, after upgreading. I blame nepomuk! | 15:24 |
| phoenix_firebrd | Wizard: so if flashplugin is not installed, you are not able to use youtube right? | 15:25 |
| CoJaBo | How do I stop the omniirc upgrade prompt from showing up every five minutes? egads, this is worse than Windows Update, wtf? | 15:26 |
| kamilnadeem | I accidentally deleted the bottom pannel , but I got that back,. The prob is the size of the kick off launcher | 15:26 |
| kamilnadeem | Hi Wizard | 15:26 |
| Wizard | phoenix_firebrd: you asekd me if it pops up on youtube so I checked and informed you | 15:26 |
| kamilnadeem | hi phoenix_firebrd | 15:26 |
| kamilnadeem | how to resize kick off? | 15:26 |
| Linkmaster | Daskreech: get in offtopic, I'm talking of our crazy adventures | 15:27 |

| BluesKaj | phoenix_firebrd, it stores your last settings in alsamixer when you run the command ..it doesn't always stick tho , after upgrades and such | 15:43 |
| phoenix_firebrd | BluesKaj: no, what happens internally? | 15:43 |
| BluesKaj | phoenix_firebrd, creates a small file on the /home dir and the setting is suppose hold in alsa.conf | 15:46 |

| kamilnadeem | I mean in terms of not crashing(I use Ubuntu one so I do know how it works ;) ) | 15:55 |
| phoenix_firebrd | kamilnadeem: for me ubuntuone doesnt start in kubuntu-desktop | 15:57 |
| kamilnadeem | yeah I have been hearing that it is not in pristine working condition as on Ubuntu , lets hope 12.04 sorts this | 15:58 |
| phoenix_firebrd | kamilnadeem: harald was working on a kde version, but i dont know what happened to it | 16:01 |
| kamilnadeem | hmmm. DId you guys checked out the latets distrowatch weekely | 16:01 |
| kamilnadeem | Kubuntu scores over ubuntu :) | 16:01 |
| phoenix_firebrd | kamilnadeem: oh really? | 16:02 |
| kamilnadeem | yes go check it out | 16:02 |
| kamilnadeem | the reason is the same why I maid Kubuntu my main distro | 16:02 |
| kamilnadeem | made* | 16:03 |
| kamilnadeem | overall polish and it works :) | 16:03 |
| jmichaelx | not sure i have ever heard kubuntu being acclaimed for high polish before... | 16:08 |

| Belial` | which is fine. | 16:13 |
| jmichaelx | BluesKaj: i have not done extensive testing, but on my PC at work, vdpau seems to be working better with vlc than with mplayer. performance with mplayer has really regressed (at least it appears so on that machine) | 16:14 |
| phoenix_firebrd | When we are talking about stability we should opt for LTS release | 16:14 |
| jmichaelx | yea, i have been using kubuntu as my main OS for going on 6 years. obviously, i am still using it, but it isn't because i have ever thought it to be polished | 16:15 |
| kamilnadeem | brb | 16:16 |
| * jmichaelx did flee to xfce during the kde4.0-4.2 era | 16:17 | |
| BluesKaj | mplayer no longer works well on this setup , jmichaelx, no fullscreen , poor audio config etc ..it'sok for desktop monitors , but not for a media server pc | 16:17 |
| phoenix_firebrd | BluesKaj: have you installed libvdpau? | 16:18 |
| jmichaelx | yea... i have not tested the two machines yet that i use the most for multimedia... if they turn out to be this bad, i either switching back to natty, or ditching k/ubuntu | 16:19 |

| BluesKaj | phoenix_firebrd, yes libvdpau1 | 16:19 |
| * jmichaelx shreeks.......... | 16:19 | |
| phoenix_firebrd | BluesKaj: what does this 'mplayer -vo vdpau <file>' tell you | 16:20 |
| jmichaelx | with each batch of updates, i keep hoping for these task manager bugs to go away.... | 16:23 |
| phoenix_firebrd | jmichaelx: i think some one posted a working patch | 16:23 |
| BluesKaj | phoenix_firebrd, what doy yowant to know , there's alot of info | 16:23 |
| phoenix_firebrd | BluesKaj: does it say it is successfully using the vdpau as output? | 16:24 |
| phoenix_firebrd | jmichaelx: they say that the actual bug is not in the taskmanager widget | 16:25 |
| BluesKaj | yup ,it plays at a smaller size than my screen , but without audio | 16:25 |
| BluesKaj | phoenix_firebrd, libavformat file format detected | 16:25 |
| jmichaelx | phoenix_firebrd: so i understand... X is being blamed (which i do not doubt) | 16:26 |
| phoenix_firebrd | BluesKaj: have you tried smplayer? | 16:26 |
| BluesKaj | phoenix_firebrd, yeah , the audio doesn't pas the digital signal that I need here | 16:27 |
| mr-rich | 179 updates? are you friggen kidding me? | 16:28 |
| BluesKaj | any versions of mpalyer are the same, they play the video fine , but no audio and I don't feel like trying to buld a string of commands just so i can play movies from the cli , seems rather silly to me. | 16:28 |
| phoenix_firebrd | BluesKaj: thats why we have smplayer | 16:29 |
| phoenix_firebrd | BluesKaj: try playing with the audio settings | 16:29 |
| yofel | mr-rich: 4.7.2 in oneiric-updates | 16:29 |
| BluesKaj | smplayer doesn't work for my setup | 16:29 |
| BluesKaj | phoenix_firebrd, it can't fill my screen | 16:30 |
| BluesKaj | and i don't have a huge tv , it's only a 42" panasonic | 16:30 |
| jmichaelx | BluesKaj: do you use xbmc? just wondering how it is working for you | 16:31 |
| phoenix_firebrd | BluesKaj: vlc works fine? | 16:31 |
| BluesKaj | jmichaelx, I tried xbmc , too many menus too clunky ,it played ok but not my kind of player | 16:32 |
| BluesKaj | vlc works fine phoenix_firebrd , but likr you say it eats cpu | 16:33 |
| === ashish is now known as Guest82403 | ||
| BluesKaj | that's why I'm researching the GPU in the mix approach , apparently there are settings to force vlc to use the GPU more if it's capable | 16:34 |
| phoenix_firebrd | BluesKaj: we cant do anything about vlc, its because of how it renders | 16:34 |
| jmichaelx | phoenix_firebrd: on my PC at work, mplayer cannot play much of anything well since upgrading to oneiric. high definition video will almost lock the machine up... 2.4GHz amd dual-core with 4GB RAM... but vlc can play HD, though it struggles | 16:34 |
| BluesKaj | vdpau | 16:35 |
| BluesKaj | jmichaelx, that's your graphics card struggling to keep up | 16:35 |
| phoenix_firebrd | jmichaelx: what is the graphics card you are using? | 16:36 |
| jmichaelx | BluesKaj: well, GPU and CPU both | 16:36 |
| phoenix_firebrd | BluesKaj: what is the gpu? | 16:36 |
| jmichaelx | phoenix_firebrd: it is an nvidia grforce 210 | 16:37 |
| BluesKaj | nvidia geforce 8400gs | 16:37 |
| jmichaelx | geforce* | 16:37 |
| phoenix_firebrd | n 11.10 mplayer works well for me, i am using geforce 9400gt, mplayer version =SVN-r33713-4.6.1 | 16:38 |
| BluesKaj | the vdpau driver (it;s actaully a plugin) is supposed to direct the player to use the gpu on the graphics card if it's capable and share the load with the cpu on the mobo | 16:39 |
| phoenix_firebrd | BluesKaj: previously it was working? | 16:39 |
| BluesKaj | phoenix_firebrd, ?? | 16:40 |
| phoenix_firebrd | BluesKaj: vlc does some work before sending it to the gpu , so thats the reason for the high cpu usage | 16:40 |
| BluesKaj | yeah , I saw that in a blog about vlc and vdpau | 16:41 |
| phoenix_firebrd | BluesKaj: did the hd videos play fine in any of the previous versions of kubuntu? | 16:41 |
| shane2peru | ok, I think I found out why I quit using Kopete, anyone know how to get Kopete to work with Spanish characters? áíáóú | 16:41 |
| phoenix_firebrd | going for dinner, bbl | 16:42 |
| artur_ | guys who can recommend some kick-ass KDE apps? | 16:43 |
| dalston | artur_: dolphin | 16:44 |
| artur_ | been on KDE for 2 weeks after dumping Unity/Gnome-Shell, and llloving it!!!! | 16:44 |
| dalston | artur_: kontact was awesome, and will be awesome again when akonadi stops hogging memory | 16:44 |
| artur_ | OK, thanks for Dolphin, but what I meant, some obscure (no-so-obvious) apps | 16:44 |
| dalston | artur_: yakuake | 16:45 |
| dalston | artur_: drop-down terminal from the top of the screen when a shortcut key is hit | 16:45 |
| artur_ | found converseen, added ppa, but some strange reason can't find it via aptitude search ??? what gives?1 | 16:45 |
| artur_ | Yakuake absolutely AWESOME! | 16:46 |
| artur_ | so inobtrusive yet efficient - love it | 16:46 |
| artur_ | Kontact or Thunderbird? | 16:47 |
| artur_ | I've always kind of liked Thunderbird, but Kontact seems like a more comprehensive/KDE-integrated app. UI-wise, a bit of a departure from tried-and-trusted Thunderbird | 16:47 |
| jmichaelx | i wonder how usable kmail/kontact even are right now in oneiric... | 16:48 |
| yofel | the most broken thing is the migrator. Once you've got the setup done somehow it's fairly usable | 16:49 |
| Daskreech | artur_: umm. what do you want the apps to do? | 16:50 |
| jmichaelx | good to hear, although i won't be using it | 16:50 |
| Daskreech | artur_: Marble! | 16:50 |
| jmichaelx | i have been thinking about migrating to kmail, but will probably wait until the nepomuk issues are ironed out | 16:50 |
| BluesKaj | videos play fine on vlc , phoenix_firebrd , even pn smplayer noe except smplayer doesn't pass the Dolby Digital/spdif signal in 5.1 . only 2 channel pcm ...VLC does everything I want but with high CPU usage , which i can put up with | 16:50 |
| BluesKaj | noe=now | 16:51 |
| BluesKaj | ok...BBL ..stuff to do | 16:51 |
| Daskreech | jmichaelx: I think you mean akonadi | 16:52 |
| yofel | Daskreech: both | 16:52 |
| Daskreech | yofel: what's the nepomuk issues? | 16:52 |
| artur_ | Daskreech: nothing, I'm just enjoying my time with KDE! Trying different apps, just to see what will awe me :) | 16:52 |
| yofel | Daskreech: not pure nepomuk, but akonadi's nepomuk integration is one of the more buggier parts | 16:53 |
| artur_ | Marble... hmm sounds familiar. Can almost bet you I've tried it before, but will see again.. | 16:53 |
| artur_ | thanks! | 16:53 |
| yofel | artur_: if you don't mind pulling in some things you won't need, feel free to pull kde-full. Which will install the kde stuff that isn't shipped by default in kubuntu. | 16:54 |
| artur_ | yofel: Oh, thanks. I installed a KDE DVD (3.4 Gb worth of stuff) from a USB stick but did not bother to find out how to add a USB to repositories | 16:55 |
| artur_ | Which, btw, how can I add a USB to sources? | 16:55 |
| Peace- | artur_: mm i guess add media? | 16:57 |
| artur_ | Peace: sorry, meaning...? | 17:00 |
| artur_ | media = meaning.. what? | 17:00 |
| artur_ | Peace: do you mean medibuntu? | 17:00 |

| Sentynel | hi folks. been having issues related to a) random system freezes and b) hangs on shutdown since upgrading to 11.10. I believe it may be related to the wifi drivers, due to the following: the system froze again. after reboot, the wireless network wouldn't connect (the "connecting" bar got halfway across, stopped, and then it disconnected after a bit). I shut the system down and noticed it shut down properly, without hanging. I've now switched to | 22:02 |

| giantpune | im using kubuntu 11.10. the update manager (apper) just told me it had 273 updates. i told it to update. then it downloaded, prepared, and installed a bunch of stuff and then stopped at 84% | 23:09 |
| giantpune | i closed the window, and now i clicked the apper tray icon to load it again and its just hanging there | 23:09 |
| giantpune | any ideas? | 23:10 |
| amichair | giantpune: I don't know about apper, but from konsole (command line) you can run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" to upgrade all available packages, and "sudo apt-get install -f" (if I remember correctly) to fix half-installed packages | 23:11 |
| giantpune | seems that apper is stuck and somehow has locked everything else out of the app-stuff | 23:13 |
| giantpune | E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) | 23:13 |
| amichair | giantpune: if you get that message, close all instances of all package managers first. if it still shows, you can just delete the lock file (sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/lock) and try again. | 23:14 |
| giantpune | hmm. the update manager thingy is something that kubuntu is running in the background. im not sure what all i need to kill to end it | 23:16 |

| Daskreech | sillytones: you can try in global shortcuts but sounds like you reassigned the shortcut key for the show desktop applet | 23:33 |
| Daskreech | len: Steal my sunshine! | 23:33 |
| sillytones | Daskreech: i can search standard keyboard shortcuts all at once, but I can't in global keyboard shortcuts. do you know hwere to find the show desktop one? | 23:37 |
| sillytones | Daskreech: actually i found show desktop and it has no shortcut | 23:38 |
| sillytones | i think it's switching workspaces | 23:38 |
| sillytones | found it it was called switch to next workspace | 23:40 |
| Belial` | Daskreech: last night, after i disabled the dim display and screen energy saving under performance (which is for when it's plugged in, which it was) the screen still turned off. | 23:42 |
| Belial` | i read about kde ignoring settings in power management sometimes. | 23:42 |
| Belial` | briefly, anyway. | 23:42 |
| Daskreech | sillytones: it would be kwin | 23:48 |
| Daskreech | sillytones: or plasma desktop. (it's called show dashboard there) | 23:48 |
| sillytones | thanks, yeah i found it | 23:48 |
| sillytones | i forget hwere it was | 23:48 |
| Daskreech | sillytones: if you have a showdesktop plasmoid right look at the properties and it will have a keyboard shortcut. That might be set to Z | 23:49 |
| Daskreech | sillytones: Ah workspace switching :) | 23:49 |
| Daskreech | Belial`: Bleah. Might want to talk to someone in #solid | 23:50 |
| Belial` | Daskreech: i actually haven't even checked in #kde yet. i'll probably try that now. | 23:52 |
| Daskreech | Ok | 23:55 |
